Coaching
In the world of freediving the figure of Coach it is not yet widespread. He is not a trainer, but a person with such experience able to drive the freedivers to the experimentation of new training techniques to improve their performance. The Coach has a basic training in addition to that of a Freediving instructor. Over the years, many freediving champions from all over the world have trained at our center and the interaction with them provided Freediving World instructors with the knowledge to be able to advice and drive freedivers already trained but that looking to improve their performance.Freediving World Competition
Every year we organize world-wide competitions on one or two platforms, in which high-level athletes with dives over 100 meters as well as novice athletes who want to enjoy the thrill of such a high-level competition participate. In these races the athletes often achieve Personal Bests in some discipline, National or even World Records. For these events we have a counterweight system, oxygen on the platform, Sonar, Safety with Scooter and Doctors available on the platform.National and International Competition
Every year are organized national and international competitions with athletes from all around the world. Since 2013 we started with Freediving World Competition format, a competition in the 3 disciplines CWT, FI, CNF that takes place in 7/8 consecutive days. This competition is becoming a classical appointment for athletes of hight level and it run in spring (May) and in Autumn (October/November)Record Attempts
Freediving World Apnea Center can organize and manage in any moment, thanks to the good weather conditions, National and World Record Attempt in all the disciplines in depth and in pool. We have two platforms 100 meters from the shore, equipped with counterweight, sonar and oxygen tank. Thanks to our safety staff who have a scooter available for both safety and emergency evacuation operations, in a few minutes the injured athlete can be transported to the ground and from there to the hyperbaric chamber which is about 6-7 minutes from the center and in which doctors specialized in diving and freediving accidents work.Master Training
Equalization, Breathing, Monofin and Variable
At Freediving World Apnea Center the athletes can follow Master training in different fields of freediving:the equalization, the breathing techniques, the monofin use and the disciplines of variable weight and no limits. These Masters training provide concepts that go beyond the normal recreational freediving courses. The most interesting of these Masters training is the equalization stage. Since many years Freediving World works to develop new teaching programs on equalization techniques. More and more athletes from all around the world join in this training that help them to understand how the respiratory apparatus works, how to be aware of this and how to improve the own performance working on equalization. On regard Master training in Variable Weight and No Limits, there isn’t in the world another center that provide 2 platforms, 150 mt far from the beach with more than 150 mt of seabed. One of them is always equipped and ready for Variable and No Limits dives. Over the years, at FreedivingWorld, several National and World record were established in these disciplines.In the last years we also introduced the BCS protocol to develop lungs capacity and stretching and relaxation that increased the performance of all athletes. We developed this protocol in our center and we studied it on a lot of freedivers, competitors and amatorial freedivers. (www.bcsprotocol.com)
